Alana’s motivation for establishing Dance>Detour was to develop and encourage artistic collaborations between artists with and without disabilities who could work together to explore dance movement as equals. She strives to expand the concept of what dance is and who can be involved. Wallace, who contracted polio at the age of five, has always believed she was born to perform. She has found that her wheelchair is a beautiful accessory that afford her a unique opportunity to embrace and express dance.
Wallace received the 2007 “Outstanding Leadership for an Accessible Society” Award from Community Service Options, Inc. and she was named one of the “100 Women Making a Difference” in "Today's Chicago Woman" Magazine in 1997. In 1998, she was featured in the Emmy Award-Winning PBS television documentary “Dance From the Heart” hosted by Ben Vereen. In 2008, Alana was the first African American to be crowned Ms. Wheelchair America in the 35-year history of the pageant. Wallace is a national spokesperson, movement instructor, and performer who proudly displays her artistry in dance, acting, and singing as a testament to the talents and abilities of people with disabilities.
Recently, Alana was featured on the "Today Show", discussing the twentieth anniversary of the ADA, "Americans with Disabilities Act". To view, click here.
Ms. Wallace is such a tremendous inspiration. She has a light and she lets it shine on everyone she meets. Want a wonderful, wonderful woman who I have been so very lucky to have met.
